Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place squash halves, cut side down, on prepared sheet. Bake until squash is very tender when pierced with fork, about 1 hour. Scoop out squash pulp; transfer to bowl and mash until almost smooth.

Meanwhile, cook potatoes and garlic in large saucepan of boiling salted water until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potato mixture to saucepan and mash until almost smooth. Add squash and mash to blend well. Stir in 3 tablespoons cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mashed vegetable mixture to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cheese. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

I went exactly as the recipe said, but added a half a bunch of chives. It was delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.

The description of this dish sounded so good. But my guests and I were a bit disappointed. A bit bland, could have used more seasoning and cheese.

Delicious! Granted, I did not have any Gruyere on hand, so I had to use Parmesan. But this is an easy side dish I will definitely be making over again. Oh, also, I used acorn squash because that's what I had ;)

This is a wonderful side dish. It's easy to make and tastes delicious. I used fontina cheese instead of gruyere, and I used more than the called for 4 tblspns. I used about a 1/4 to 1/2 a cup total. The flavor was wonderful and several of my guests commented on how much they liked it. Also, you can make this the day before you need to serve it. I highly recommend this recipe, and I highly recommend using fontina cheese in it.

I used smoked gruyere cheese and lots of garlic and it had a wonderful, rich flavor. I like the idea of trying other cheeses as well, this is a great recipe for experimentation.
